Bet on Shrewsbury vs Wrexham

Will Wrexham Move to the League One Summit?

Shrewsbury are embroiled in a relegation scrap in England’s third tier. They are down in 22nd place, taking just 17 points from 24 games. Thursday will be another stern test for the struggling Shrews.

Wrexham were promoted from EFL League Two last term, and Phil Parkinson’s men have eyes on promotion again. The Red Dragons occupy third spot right now, just two points behind leaders Birmingham City.

Shrewsbury have shown an improvement under Gareth Ainsworth, losing just one of the last five. They beat Lincoln City and have drawn with Wigan Athletic, Northampton Town, and Blackpool. However, Town lost at Leyton Orient last time out.

Wrexham are one of the strongest teams in League One, and Parkinson’s troops will fancy their chances of returning to Wales with three points in the bag.

The game at the Racecourse Ground back in September was the first league meeting between the two since 2008. Wrexham eased to a 3-0 win, with Ollie Palmer, Elliot Lee, and Jack Marriott getting the goals.

The pair also met at New Meadow in the FA Cup last year. Wrexham edged that one thanks to a second-half Thomas O’Connor effort.
